  • ParaNoiZ ‎– The Rules Of Free Improvisation CD

    ParaNoiZ ‎– The Rules Of Free Improvisation CD

    It has been a while since I wrote about experimental music on these pages due to some responsibility towards other music genres. A pile of avant-garde releases awaited on the shelf for a couple of months, so finally, the time has come to dedicate a couple of posts to the releases I received from the…

  • Lofter – Ulcer CS EP (Cherub Dream Records)

    Lofter – Ulcer CS EP (Cherub Dream Records)

    It’s always encouraging to see how some underground record labels are growing rapidly fast. Most artists would have a hard time managing publishing and the logistics of their releases without immense help from these record labels. Cherub Dream Records is one of those independent record labels that are evolving fast without losing on consistency and…

  • VA – Vinylized Vol​.​6 LP (4mg Records)

    VA – Vinylized Vol​.​6 LP (4mg Records)

    Here’s another treat for all the admirers of experimental music. Vinylized represents a special edition curated by 4mg Records, a non-profit label that releases underground electronic music on vinyl and cassettes. Today, I will talk about the sixth edition that gathers names such as Ján Boleslav Kladivo, Troi Boglesseoure, Imiafan, Richard Imrich, Royal Hungarian Noisemakers,…

  • Fixateur Externe – Disco Satan USB (Unsigned)

    Fixateur Externe – Disco Satan USB (Unsigned)

    Here’s another dosage of Hungarian avant-garde experimentations, but this time it comes with a twist. Fixateur Externe are not strangers to these pages, and previously I had a chance to review a couple of their recordings. This material could easily pass as various artist compilation, mainly because this release represents a collection of remixes. Disco…

  • Abattoir & Satori – Megaloschemos Live CS (Unsigned)

    Abattoir & Satori – Megaloschemos Live CS (Unsigned)

    At first, I thought this was a split cassette release, but after a while, I realized it is a live collaboration between Abattoir and Satori. This material is not their first collaboration, and previously they released the album version of Megaloschemos and another collaborative cassette named Aether. Abattoir is a side project of Lorenzo Abattoir,…

  • Púder & Pormeister Trió / Triste Ensemble / Noisesculptor – Unsigned 3​-​Way Split Series Volume I (Unsigned)

    Púder & Pormeister Trió / Triste Ensemble / Noisesculptor – Unsigned 3​-​Way Split Series Volume I (Unsigned)

    Here’s another interesting experimental release, which is also one of the latest published by the Unsigned, an avant-garde music label from Budapest, Hungary. Just as the vast portion of their previous releases, Unsigned follow some principles by releasing music on cassettes or compact discs. This time, I am dealing with a split cassette release between…

  • Fixateur Externe – A Fekete Gong CS (Unsigned / Blastbeat Worship)

    Fixateur Externe – A Fekete Gong CS (Unsigned / Blastbeat Worship)

    Here’s another interesting experimental recording, recently released by Unsigned and Blastbeat Worship. Like many other avant-garde outlets, Fixateur Externe are strangers to these pages, and I previously had a chance to review a couple of their releases. Fixateur Externe is more of a collective than a project, mainly because it gathers various Hungarian experimental artists…

  • OLO – Sombre CD (Various Labels)

    OLO – Sombre CD (Various Labels)

    It’s been a while since I had a chance to stumble upon, listen and review the material of an experimental artist. Unlike the traditional music scene, it seems a lot of experimental artists decided to take a break during 2020 or work on some other projects. The songwriting and recording process usually takes a lot…

  • Convulsif – Extinct CD (Hummus Records)

    Convulsif – Extinct CD (Hummus Records)

    Convulsif are roaming around the experimental music scene for a while, and their music is hard to define by some simplistic definitions. Each performance comes as a bit of a surprise, considering their strivings to improvise on each live set. The group tends to shock and amaze at the same time with their profoundly aggressive…

  • Night Slaves – II CS (Swimming Faith Records)

    Night Slaves – II CS (Swimming Faith Records)

    Night Slaves moved forward with this particular material. It’s a proper continuation of their debut cassette EP that contains some remarkable evolvements towards darkwave aesthetics. This material represents their second EP recording that pushed things to a bit more dynamic sound, decorated with loads of notable improvements. Unlike their debut, this one has lost that…

  • Royal Hungarian Noisemakers – Le Roi Est Mort CD (Unsigned Records)

    Royal Hungarian Noisemakers – Le Roi Est Mort CD (Unsigned Records)

    Royal Hungarian Noisemakers emanate from Budapest, Hungary. I was fortunate enough to share the stage with this live act, but also to experience their live performances a couple of times. Whoever experienced their live performance, left with the impression there’s a lot more going on, mainly because of the presence of both analog and digital…

  • RibaStuka – RibatStuka CD (Unsigned Records)

    RibaStuka – RibatStuka CD (Unsigned Records)

    RibaStuka is yet another experimental noise project operated by the individuals who surround Unsigned, a very prolific Hungarian experimental label specialized in avant-garde forms of expression such as ambient, drone, harsh noise, and musique concrete. The experimentations with audio have been done by the members of the bands called L * mbik, Fixateur Externe, and…
